Photograph of the guest house at Scotty's Castle, as viewed from an angle. A dirt and gravel road stretches across the foreground on an upward angle from left to right. An adobe and brick retaining wall lines the far side of the road. Beyond the wall, a sloping lawn, landscaped with succulents and rocks, spans the distance between the wall and the guest house. The guest house sits atop the slope of the lawn. It is viewed from slightly below and at an angle from the front. The Spanish and Mediterranean-style house stretches back to the right. A long porch stretches across the front of the structure. Mountains rise in the background.
